THIS LITTLE VOLUME IS 
AFFECTIONATELY INSCRIBED 



THE REAL UNITED STATES AND 
CANADA POCKET GUIDE-BOOK. 

PLAN OF THE BOOK. 

This Guide-book describes the principal 400 Cities 
of the United States and how to reach them, the cost 
of the journeys and what to see when you get there 
in the least time at the lowest cost. As every place is 
on the way to some other place, nearly every city of 
importance in this book is made part of some well- 
arranged continuous route. 

The two trips across Canada and the four trips 
across the United States are put in first, because most 
of our American travel is on the great steam highways 
that run approximately East or West. Following these 
six trans-continental trips which cover the main Cities 
of Canada and the United States, there are 150 other 
shorter North, South, East and West routes covering 
over 200 more Cities. 

When you are ready to start on a journey, simply 
turn to the General Index and get the page opposite 
the name of the place you wish to start from, then fol- 
low the route North, East, South or West to your 
destination. You will find the arrangement of the 
book makes this absolutely easy. In case you wish 
to follow one route to one point and there take up 
another, you again turn to the index and get the page 
of the City you want to go to. 

Many digressions are described in this book, and 
they are indicated in black-face type, thus: "Side Trip, 
Main Trip Resumed, Page ." Upon the page where 

ix 



REAL UNITED STATES AND CANADA 

the main trip is resumed, it is always indicated thus: 
"Main Trip Resumed." 

When you wish to find fares between some of the 
principal points, turn to the alphabetical table headed 
"Fares Between Principal Points." 

Beginning with the first day of the journey, the dis- 
tance of each city from the last visited is given, to- 
gether with the railroad and sleeping-car fares, and the 
time required to make the trip. 

The elevation of each city above sea level and its 
population are given, with names and rates of the prin- 
cipal hotels, with the carriage and taxicab rates, and 
a list of the principal interesting things to be seen at 
each place. 

For the Trans-continental Trip, I give an actual and 
exact expense account. As I went first class, the ex- 
pense that I have listed is maximum. 

If you wish to go Eastward over the Westward 
trips I have described, you can cover the same places 
by merely reversing the order of the cities, working 
from the last page of the trips backward to the first. 
The same is true if you wish to go Northward over 
the Southern routes or Southward over the Northern 
routes. 

In each case I have written the proprietors for rates 
at the hotels I have put in. Where they have replied, 
the rates are inserted. Where they have not replied, I 
have left the rates blank. Hotels marked with a 
star (*) have been used by the writer or recommended 
by men in whose judgment he has confidence. The 
rates quoted are usually American plan. Where Euro- 
pean plan rates are quoted they always follow the 
words, "Rooms from." 

Railroad and steamship rates and sleeping-car fares 
are given as they have been quoted to me by the com- 
panies before going to press in 1915. They are, of 
course, subject to change at any time. The prices 
shown for "sleeper" refer invariably to the lower berth 



REAL UNITED STATES AND CANADA 

only. Upper berths in the United States sell for 20 
per cent, less than lowers. 

Although every effort has been made, it has been 
impossible in some instances to get the cab and taxi- 
cab rates. 

The tram rate practically all over the United States 
is 5 cents per passenger, except in Cleveland, Ohio, 
where the rate is only 3 cents. In nearly every city 
of importance transfers to connecting lines are granted 
free. 

In Canada the tram rate is 5 cents per passenger 
and in the larger cities six tickets are sold for 25 
cents. 

Unless otherwise stated, dollar marks ($) refer to 
United States currency. 

The population of the cities is taken from the latest 
figures. In some instances, no figures are available 
later than the last United States census, which was 
had in 1910. 

I acknowledge with gratitude the assistance accorded 
me by the Railroad and Steamship men all over the 
world, who have furnished me the detailed information 
necessary to make this book complete and who have 
checked my notes to insure their accuracy. 

I am especially grateful to the New York and Lon- 
don offices of Messrs. Thomas Cook & Son, Raymond 
& Whitcomb Company, McCann's Tours, Mr. R. P. 
Schwerin, of the Pacific Mail Steamship Company; Mr. 
L. J. Garcy, American Representative of European

STEAMSHIP LINES. 

In the following list will be found the principal At- 
lantic and Pacific steamship lines, together with their 
minimum fares. 

For detailed information as to reservations, sailing 
dates, etc., it will be found most satisfactory to apply- 
direct to the Offices or Passenger Agents of the vari- 
ous lines, as fares, sailings, etc., are constantly chang- 
ing. Nearly all Tourist Agencies and Passenger 
Agents of most of the railroads can also give pros- 
pective voyagers such information on short notice. 

Experienced travellers make reservations as far in 
advance as possible. Only a small sum is generally 
required at time of booking, the balance being payable 
before sailing. Should a passenger booked to take 
passage on a certain steamer, before the time of sail- 
ing, decide to go by a later steamer he can usually 
transfer the reservation upon request. However, ex- 
cept in cases of necessity this should be avoided, espe- 
cially in seasons when traffic is at "high peak."

THE REAL UNITED STATES AND 
CANADA POCKET GUIDE-BOOK. 

PART I. 

GENERAL INFORMATION FOR TRAVELLERS. 
THE SEASONS TO GO. 

The United States and Canada are such enormous 
countries that they offer every diversity of soil and 
climate, so. that any attempt to say when to go to any 
part of either of these countries depends upon the 
locality to be visited. 

In the large newspapers, many of the health and 
pleasure resorts report daily the exact state of the 
w^eather. 

RAILROAD TICKETS. 

Railroad fares in the United States for first class 
average about 2 cents per mile, which rate is the re- 
sult of State Statutes or the competition of rivals. 
Railroads also sell at reduced rates "thousand-mile 
tickets," from which the conductor tears ("lifts") cou- 
pons representing the number of miles used. Round 
trip or excursion rates are made, which are less than 
two full fares going and returning. 

COST OF TRAVEL. 

Roughly estimated, the cost of travel Is $1.00 per 
hour. This includes only railroad and sleeping-car 
(Pullman) fare without meals. 



REAL UNITED STATES AND CANADA 

POSTAGE. 

Letters and unsealed envelopes, 2 cents per ounce or 
part of an ounce. Magazines, newspapers, etc., un- 
sealed, I cent for four ounces. Books, 2 cents per 
ounce. Merchandise and samples, i cent per ounce. 
Letters can be delivered immediately if a lo-cent spe- 
cial delivery stamp, or 10 cents of regular stamps are 
affixed, and the words "Special Delivery" written 
thereon. Registered letters cost in addition to the usual 
postage 10 cents. Domestic money orders are issued 
for 3 cents where the same is not more than $2.50; 
from $2.50 to $5.00, 5 cents; $5.00 to $10.00, 8 cents; 
$10.00 to $20.00, 10 cents; $20.00 to $30.00, 12 cents; 
$30.00 to $40.00, 15 cents; $40.00 to $50.00, 18 cents; 
$50.00 to $60.00, 20 cents; $60.00 to $75.00, 25 cents; 
$75.00 to $100.00, 30 cents. 



RAILROAD GUIDES. 

The most comprehensive time-table, or schedule of 
trains, is the Official Guide of the Railways and Steam 
Navigation Lines of the United States, Porto Rico, 
Canada, Mexico, Cuba and Central America, published 
by the National Railway Publication Co., 75 Church 
Street, New York City, New York. There are also 
issued the Travelers' Railway Guide, etc. 

Passengers are advised to consult Thomas Cook & 
Son, the leading travel agents in the world, who have 
offices at all the principal Cities; Raymond & Whit- 
comb Agencies; Charles H. Gates, at Toledo, Ohio; 
American Tourist Association, Chicago; McCann's, in 
New York; "Mr. Foster," New York, and the Inter- 
national Sleeping Car Company, in New York, which 
has booking facilities for the steamships, the Trans- 
Siberian Railway, Canadian Pacific and some of the 
biggest lines in Europe.

PASSPORTS. 

These are not required in the United States and 
Canada, except in time of war. They are useful, 
though, as a means of identification at banks, hotels 
or post-offices. 

SLEEPING CARS. 

"Pullman" (sleeping-car) tickets are purchased at 
the railway station or other ticket offices. In the big 
Cities, there is a special window at the stations for 
their purchase marked "Pullman." The tickets con- 
sist of small perforated triplicates, upon which are 
marked the date, the name or number of the car and 
the number of the berth, whether upper or lower, etc. 

Upon reaching the train, Pullman conductors are 
shown the Pullman tickets and the porter carries in 
the hand-baggage. The conductor tears off one of the 
triplicate tickets, which the passenger retiiins, and 
keeps the other two. 

The' rate for Pullman chairs or for quarter section 
is approximately 25 cents per hour. At the time the 
passenger pays for this, the conductor hands him a 
small punched ticket, which is his receipt for the 
amount. 

Pullman porters who attend passengers and polish 
their shoes receive a tip of 25 cents, which is paid 
when the passenger leaves the train. 

DINING CARS. 

All good trains running to any considerable distance 
carry dining cars, where the food is sold a la carte. 
No drinks containing alcohol are sold in the "prohibi- 
tion States," but can be consumed on the dining cars 
if passengers have them.

TOURIST CARS. 

In the United States and Canada, tourist cars are 
carried on the Trans-continental roads, but they are 
cheaper than and inferior to Pullmans. 

TRAVELLING NECESSITIES FOR MEN. 

Evening coat, two white evening vests, a dinner coat, 
dinner vest, one pair of evening trousers, one cutaway 
suit, two travelling suits, several white "dress" shirts, 
and about ten negligee shirts. The latter if made of 
silk are lighter, and the former if pleated stand the 
travel better than if stiff-bosomed. I carried every- 
thing in a big collapsible sole-leather Gladstone bag 
26 inches long 16 inches wide, and capable of being 
expanded to 12 inches thick. 

I had in addition a box of shaving powder, one razor, 
one strop, one shaving brush, one hair brush, one comb, 
tooth brush, auto goggles, one pair of eyeglasses for 
distance, one pair of spectacles for distance, and one of 
each for reading, besides extra lenses for both distance 
and reading, with several extra eyeglass cases, always 
one extra for use in sleeping cars. I also carried one 
pair of Pullman slippers, writing pad, envelopes and 
fountain pen, aluminum key chain, one cane umbrella, 
neckties, a small box of collar buttons, small bottle 
peroxide of hydrogen, small quantity of absorbent cot- 
ton. 

I append the following list from which the wardrobe 
above recommended for men can be supplemented at 
the pleasure of the tourist: 

Razors, dressing jacket, cuffs, hot-water bag, collars, 
handkerchiefs, underwear, medicine, pajamas, travelling 
cap, nail brush, flat clothes brush, hat brush, hair 
brush, sponge, black Tuxedo tie, 2 white ties, gold shirt 
studs, pearl shirt studs, round shirt buttons for cuffs, 
shirts, evening coat, shirt, trousers; vest, bathing suit,

REAL UNITED STATES AND CANADA 

traveller's cup, neckties, wash rag, socks, cuff buttons, 
tooth powder, camphor ice, cold cream, listerine, 
garters, visiting cards, eyeglass prescription. Also vest 
buttons, evening dress vest buttons; auto goggles, 
patent-leather shoes, pencil, paper, toilet soap, stamps, 
menthol pencil, shaving soap, talcum powder, books, 
papers, glove buttoner, shoe buttoner, round shirt 
sleeve buttons (when cuffs not attached), shirts (negli- 
gee and dress), dinner coat (Tuxedo), dinner vest, din- 
ner trousers, needles and black thread and white 
thread, blue glasses, air pillow, compass, filter, aneroid 
barometer, extra luggage straps, "mailing itinerary" 
passport, visiting cards. 

If a trunk is carried you can add: 

Underwear, cuffs, collars, handkerchiefs. Prince Al- 
bert, extra trousers, extra suits, shoes, slippers, bath 
robe. 

SOME THINGS WOMEN SHOULD CARRY. 

Ladies should have a travelling dress that will not 
show or catch dust easily. Ordinary costumes, such as 
are worn every day at home, will be worn most of the 
time. Veils are desirable. A woman friend has given 
me the following list: 

A thirty-six-inch steamer trunk should be chosen by 
all means, instead of a shorter length. This, with one 
suit case, medium size, and the invaluable "hold all," 
will accommodate easily the wardrobe given below: 

One tailored suit, i blouse of similar color in crepe 
or chiffon, i silk or linen suit or 3-piece costume, i 
evening gown, i semi-formal dinner gown, 2 one-piece 
gowns, preferably silk, less bulky and more comforta- 
ble undercoat; 2 silk petticoats, i pongee, washable; 2 
princess slips, lingerie or china silk, messaline very un- 
satisfactory; 6 pair hose, 4 combinations, 4 night gowns, 
I dressing gown, simple, well fitting; 2 pair corsets, i 
soft as possible, for comfort in deck chair; 4 pair shoes, 

5 



REAL UNITED STATES AND CANADA 

well fitted and comfortable; i small hat with brim, 
minus wings or breakable trimming; i soft hemp hat 
or close-fitting bonnet for use on deck, i heavy steamer 
coat or warm rain coat and sweater for wear under- 
neath, 2 pair dark kid gloves, 2 chamois or silk gloves. 

ACCESSORIES FOR WOMEN. 

Steamer rug, small down pillow, hot-water bag, small 
electric iron, blue glasses, umbrella, detachable handle, 
rubbers, toilet requisites, bath salt, hair tonic necessary 
to counteract sea air, hair nets, smelling salts. 

TRUNKS FOR USE IN STATEROOM. 

Trunks intended to be under the stateroom bed 

should be marked "stateroom number ," with your 

name and home address in full on the tag. Trunks 
should not be higher- than 14 inches. But "innovation" 
type trunks are recommended as being far superior to 
anything else, and they can be stood up in the state- 
room, and a stout window cord will hold them in place 
in the roughest weather. 

MARK BAGGAGE CAREFULLY. 

Special baggage tags, which should be affixed to every 
trunk, bag or parcel, will be supplied to passengers with 
the steamship tickets. These should be plainly in- 
scribed with your name and home address. 

KEEP BAGGAGE LOCKED. 

Travellers cannot be too careful about keeping their 
baggage locked during a long trip, as in case of loss it 
is impossible to fix the responsibility, and you have 
practically no recourse. Duplicate keys should be car- 
ried in separate pockets, so that if one is lost the other 
is available. 

6 



REAL UNITED STATES AND CANADA 

BAGGAGE INSURANCE 

against loss, damage, theft or pilfering can be effected 
at reasonable rates. See index "Baggage Insurance" 
for company rates. 

ACCIDENT AND HEALTH INSURANCE. 

This is invaluable to tourists, and costs but little. 
For company's rates see index "Accident and Health 
Insurance." 

CLAIM TO SEAT IN TRAIN. 

The right to hold a seat in a train which has been en- 
gaged by putting in it a coat, valise or other article has 
been legalized in France, but there has been no decision 
on this in Canada or the United States. 

These should be secured as near the middle of the 
car as possible, because there is less shaking and there 
is less noise from the wheels and the riding is easier. 

A PEDOMETER. 

A pedometer is useful to know how many miles you 
cover. 

VALUABLES. 

A ship is not responsible for valuables unless depos- 
ited with the purser, who, if required, will give a receipt 
therefor. 

TIME. 

Passengers set their watches daily at noon by the 
ship's time. 

COMPASS. 

A small compass is exceedingly valuable, as all guide- 
book descriptions use the points of the compass. 

7 



REAL UNITED STATES AND CANADA 

ALARM WATCH. 

These cost in America $6, in Europe $4. They are 
exceedingly useful. 

THE PROPER SIDE OF THE SHIP. 

It is most important to get on the proper side of the 
ship. Port side is the best on the eastern, and the 
starboard side is the best on the westbound voyage. 
The port side gets the sun in the morning and the star- 
board in the evening. It is considered preferable to 
have a cabin cool in the afternoon, in order to sleep or 
dress for dinner. If you are a bad sailor, take the 
lower berth. Otherwise take the upper, especially on 
those ships where the upper berth controls the port 
hole. 

PARCEL POST. 

Elaborate systems furnish cheap and satisfactory 
means of shipping merchandise. The Post Offices 
everywhere will furnish full particulars. 

TELEGRAPH AND TELEPHONES. 

These are run by private enterprise and are the most 
efficient found anywhere. Branch offices are found in 
every locality. 

LETTERS OF CREDIT AND TRAVELLERS* 
CHECKS. 

With every letter of credit is given a list of the banks 
where it is available. 

Travellers' checks are accepted nearly everywhere by 
hotel men and shop keepers. They are signed in one 
of the blank spaces when purchased, and should not be 
countersigned until they are cashed, because after being 
countersigned they can be used by anybody. It is ad- 
visable to take some for ten dollars, some for twenty

dred dollars, in order to have as nearly as possible the

are good for in money of the various countries in which 
they are to be used. 

HOW THEY KEEP TIME ON SHIPBOARD. 

The twenty-four hours are divided at sea into 
"watches" of four hours each. The crew is divided into 
two sections, termed the "Port" and "Starboard" 
watches, which alternately take the "watch," or period 
of duty. Time on board ship is marked by "bells," the 
ship's bell being struck in single and double strokes.

CUSTOMS DUTIES IN THE UNITED STATES. 

Blanks issued by the United States Government are 
furnished to passengers on the voyages by the steam- 
ship officers, and upon these blanks declarations are 
made as to the articles that are brought over. They 
contain explicit directions, which must be literally fol- 
lowed, and my experience is that frankness with the 
custom-house officials and readiness in opening the bag- 
gage is the best way to secure courteous and expe- 
ditious service. 

Upon arrival in the United States the baggage of pas- 
sengers, which has been previously marked with their 
names and addresses and with posters bearing their in- 
itials, will be found on the steamship piers of New York 
and San Francisco, in the section corresponding to the 
letter of the alphabet which begins their last name. 
Upon arriving at the pier in New York a line is formed 
in front of the inspector's desk, and as rapidly as 
possible an inspector in assigned to each passenger, 
but this is not done until all the baggage of the passen- 
ger has been collected at the space marked by the let- 
ter corresponding with his last name. An inspector is 
assigned to each passenger, but this is not done until 
all the baggage of the passenger has been collected. 
An inspector will not be assigned to make examina- 
tion of part. Non-residents of the United States are 
entitled to bring in wearing apparel, articles of personal 
adornment, toilet articles and other personal effects 
necessary and appropriate for the wear and use of the

passenger on the journey, and not intended for others 
as gifts and not intended for sale. Household goods of 
non-residents from foreign countries are admitted free 
if actually used abroad by them for not less than one 
year, and if not intended as gifts to others and not in- 
tended for sale. Residents of the United States are 
each entitled to an exemption from duty of one hundred 
dollars' worth of such articles as are ordinarily pur- 
chased abroad by tourists for their personal or house- 
hold use, but to secure such exemption all such articles 
must be declared. In case of any difficulty in making 
out the declaration the purser will be glad to give any 
information required. Baggage intended for interior 
points can be shipped in bond from the point of arrival, 
but this should be stated in the declaration made before 
the arrival of the ship. Passengers should avoid any 
effort to give any bribe or present to any custom-house 
official, as you thereby subject yourself to a heavy pen- 
alty. 

Under the Act of Congress of 1897, no sealskin gar- 
ments or skins taken from the waters of the Northern 
Pacific Ocean are permitted to be imported, and resi- 
dents of the United States who take sealskin garments 
abroad should register them with the custom-house 
authorities before leaving, requesting them at the same 
time to forward copy of the registration to the port of 
the United States at which they expect to land upon 
their return. 

It is well to list your purchases at the time they are 
made abroad, as then you will not have to depend upon 
memory in making up the list for the customs officers. 

CUSTOMS IN CANADA. 

There is little annoyance in Canada on account of 
customs duties.

A knot is 1.152 miles.

hundred dollars. 

IMMIGRATION LAWS. 

Immigration laws are very strict, and passengers 
coming into the United States must answer every in- 
quiry. The procedure applies to saloon as well as every 
other class of passenger, and will be explained on the 
Atlantic ships. Investigation is somewhat more par- 
ticular where you enter the country by train or by 
coastwise steamer from adjoining countries. In this 
case a record of the answers given is kept. 

A head tax is levied unless you proceed to points be- 
yond the United States. 

THE UNITED STATES IMMIGRATION LAW. 

Information for Passengers, Issued by the Immigra- 
tion Service of the Department of Com- 
merce and Labor. 

(i) The immigration law applies to all aliens, and not 
merely to those commonly known as immigrants. It 

33 



REAL UNITED STATES AND CANADA 

applies to aliens whether they have previously resided 
in the United States or not, and even though they may 
have declared their intention of becoming citizens and 
taken out "first papers." 

(2) The fact that aliens travel in cabin quarters does 
not relieve them from the terms of the immigration law. 
If this were otherwise, well-to-do aliens of the ex- 
cluded classes could readily secure entrance to the 
United States. The inspection of first- and second- 
class passengers at New York occurs usually aboard 
ship between the Quarantine Station and the dock. 
Aliens travelling in the third class or steerage (com- 
monly known as immigrants) are brought to Ellis 
Island for inspection. 

(3) Each passenger to the United States should re- 
ceive on board an identification card, to be presented 
upon arrival to the immigration authorities, so that he 
may promptly ascertain his place on the ship's mani- 
fest, and thus expedite inspection and landing. 

(4) The law provides that every alien who does not 
appear to the examining inspector to be "clearly and 
beyond a doubt" entitled to land shall be detained for 
"special inquiry." Only those first- and second-class 
passengers whose right to land is not clear are sent to 
Ellis Island. 

(5) The immigration authorities have no jurisdic- 
tion over United States citizens, but they have the 
right to satisfy themselves that passengers claiming to 
be United States citizens are in fact such and not 
falsely claiming citizenship to evade the immigration 
law or the payment of the head tax of four dollars. 
United States citizens can aid in the execution of the 
immigration law in several ways. Those who are na- 
tive-born should, upon request, inform the steamship 
authorities as to their place of birth, and those who are 
naturalized as to the date of their naturalization papers 
and the name of the court which issued them. Citi- 

34 



REAL UNITED STATES AND CANADA 

zens, like aliens, should upon arrival hold in readiness 
their identification cards. 

(6) Following are the principal classes of aliens ex- 
cluded from admission to the United States: 

Idiots, imbeciles, feeble-minded persons and epilep- 
tics. Insane persons and those who have been insane 
within five years. Persons who at any time have had 
two or more attacks of insanity. Paupers and persons 
likely to become a public charge. Persons afflicted 
with tuberculosis or with a loathsome or dangerous 
contagious disease. Persons suffering from any mental 
or physical defect which may affect their ability to 
earn a living. Criminals, polygamists and anarchists. 
Prostitutes, procurers and "persons who are supported 
by or receive in whole or in part the proceeds of prosti- 
tution." Children under sixteen unaccompanied by 
either parent, except in the discretion of the Secretary 
of Commerce and Labor. 

(7) Where alien children under sixteen unaccom- 
panied by either parent, neither parent being in the 
United States, are admitted, the minimum require- 
ments are that they shall enjoy good health, shall be 
going to close relatives who are able and willing to 
support and properly care for them, shall be sent to 
school until sixteen, and shall not be put at work un- 
suited to their years. Frequently the Government re- 
quires a bond conditioning that they shall be sent to 
school until sixteen and shall not become a public 
charge. 

(8) The business of quarantine at the port of New 
York is conducted by the State of New York, not by 
the Federal Government. Quarantinable diseases are 
cholera, yellow fever, smallpox, typhus fever, leprosy 
and plague. Both citizens and aliens suffering from 
any of these diseases are removed from the vessel at 
the Quarantine Station, Staten Island. Aliens are sub- 
ject to further medical examination by surgeons of the 
United States Public Health and Marine Hospital Serv- 

35 



REAL UNITED STATES AND CANADA 

ice, acting on behalf of the immigration authorities, 
with reference to all physical and mental diseases or de- 
fects specified in the immigration law; and these in- 
clude tuberculosis, trachoma, favus, and other skin dis- 
eases, as well as numerous other disorders; also in- 
sanity, idiocy, imbecility and feeble-mindedness. 

(9) An alien may be arrested and deported at any 
time within three years of his arrival if he entered the 
United States (i) in violation of law, or (2) without 
inspection, or (3) if he has become a public charge 
from a cause existing prior to landing. An alien has 
entered the United States in violation of law if in fact 
he belonged to one of the excluded classes, although 
such fact may at the time of entry have escaped atten- 
tion. Usual instances in which an alien becomes a pub- 
lic charge are where he enters an almshouse or hos- 
pital at public expense or is sent to jail. What may be 
a "cause existing prior to landing" depends somewhat 
on the circumstances of each case. Where the alien is 
found a public charge in an almshouse or hospital the 
proof usually required to show that his presence there 
is due to a "cause existing prior to landing" includes a 
medical certificate establishing the existence of mental 
or physical disability prior to the time when he entered 
the country. Alien prostitutes and procurers may be 
deported regardless of the time when they entered the 
country. 

By order of the 

U. S. COMMISSIONER OF IMMIGRATION 

at the Port of New York.

BANK HOLIDAYS IN THE UNITED STATES. 

Bank holidays vary according to the different States, 
but those given below are observed practically through- 
out the country. 



REAL UNITED STATES AND CANADA 

New Year's Day, January ist. 

Lincoln's Birthday, February 12th. 

Washington's Birthday, February 22nd. 

Memorial Day, May 30th. 

Independence Day, July 4th. 

Labor Day, first Monday in September. 

Columbus Day, October 12th. 

Thanksgiving Day, last Thursday in November. 

Christmas Day, December 25th. 

In many States other local holidays are observed. 

TIME. 

In the United States "Eastern" time prevails east of 
meridian 75. Then from meridian 75 to 90 is "Central" 
time. From meridian 90 to 105 is "Mountain" time, 
and west of meridian 105 is "Pacific" time. 

CONDUCT OF TRAINS IN AMERICA. 

In America a conductor is in charge of trains, and 
porters are his subordinates. In some states there are 
laws against the use of the public drinking cup, and it 
is well therefore to carry your own, or to carry paper 
cups. In the Pullmans porters will furnish paper cups 
upon application. 

In several states the sale of cigarettes is forbidden; 
in others alcoholic liquors, etc. 

Long-distance trains are usually called "Limited," 
carrying only a certain number of passengers, and fre- 
quently an extra fare is charged. The next best trains 
to Limited are "Fast Mails," which in Europe are 
called "express," and the next best are the ordinary 
trains. Pullman cars (sleepers) are carried on all first- 
class trains, and frequently in the West so-called tour- 
ist cars, which are a cheaper class of sleeping car, are 
also carried. 

The limited trains have drawing-room, dining, buffet, 
observation and sleeping cars, and many of the best 

Z7 



REAL UNITED STATES AND CANADA 

ones carry stenographers and some of them manicures. 
Some of them carry wireless bulletins and telephones. 
The observation car is generally arranged with the 
back platform open, so that views can be had from the 
rear of the train. 

Most of the good trains carry dining cars, on some 
of which you can order a la carte. Table d'hote meals 
are also served. 

EXCESS BAGGAGE RATES IN THE UNITED 

STATES. 

Excess baggage rates are based on i6 2-3 per cent, 
of the highest railroad fare quoted, for instance: 

To Chicago, 111., $21.10, 16 2-3 per cent., $3.55 per 100 
pounds. 

To St. Louis, Mo., $24.75, 16 2-3 per cent., $4.15 per 
100 pounds. 

PULLMAN SLEEPING CAR RATES. 

Sleeping cars in America are converted into seat cars 
in the day. At night they have upper and lower berths, 
and are made up between two seats that face each 
other. The upper berths are closed into the roof during 
the day, and are lowered like a shelf at night. The 
lower berth and the upper berth combined form a sec- 
tion. The lower berth ticket entitles you to two seats, 
as does the upper, but neither the lower nor the upper 
berth is large enough for two people. At night privacy 
is had by drawing the curtains which run longitudinally 
with the car. 

A drawing-room has a sofa for use in the day and 
two berths, one upper and one lower, which can be 
used at night. In addition to the sofa there are also in 
the day two seats facing each other, in which four peo- 
ple can sit. 

The rate for double upper berth is approximately 20 
per cent, less than rate for double lower berth. Either 

38 




NEW YORK CITY 



REAL UNITED STATES AND CANADA 

may be occupied by one or two people, provided they 
hold the proper railroad transportation in addition to 
the sleeping car ticket. The rate for a section is the 
sum of the upper and lower berth rates. The rate for 
compartment is approximately 20 per cent, less than 
rate for drawing-room. 

A drawing-room (containing three berths) costs the 
same as three berths. The minimum rate for an upper 
berth is $1.25. Some of the railroads run their own 
sleepers, but the great majority of them run Pullmans. 

A drawing-room is a private compartment with an 
upper and lower berth, and a sofa which can be con- 
verted into a lower berth. A stateroom is a private 
compartment with an upper and lower berth. A sec- 
tion is a lower and upper berth directly above. The 
purchaser of a berth, either upper or lower, has exclu- 
sive right to its occupancy. 

The charge for an upper berth in sleeping cars is 20 
per cent, less than the rate for the lower berth, and the 
section rate is the amount of the lower and upper 
berth rates combined, for example: 

New York to Chicago, upper berth, $4.00. 

New York to Chicago, lower berth, $5.00. 

New York to Chicago, section, $9.00. 

NEW YORK CITY, N. Y., U. S. A. 

Area, 326 square miles. Water frontage, 441 miles. 
Population, 5,000,000. 

Manhattan Island, on which the City of New York 
is located, is long and narrow, and all the Trans-At-

hattan Island on the west side of the city, or in Ho- 
boken. New Jersey, which is on the western bank of 
the Hudson River. Hoboken, New Jersey, where the 
German steamers arrive and depart, is connected with 
New York City by ferries, across which it is necessary 
to go if you take a cab to arrive in New York City. 

39 



REAL UNITED STATES AND CANADA 

Hoboken is also connected with New York City by a 
tube or underground railroad. The time by the tube 
from Hoboken to 33rd Street and Broadway in New 
York City, is fourteen minutes. By carriage it requires 
45 minutes. The fare from Hoboken by way of the 
tube is seven cents. The fare by taxi is, by four- 
wheeler, $4.60, and by hansom $3.60. 

Baggage: There is some delay about the delivery of 
baggage by the transfer companies, and if it is desired 
to use it immediately it should ,be carried on the cab 
or taxi by the passenger. 

Railway Stations: The principal railway stations are 
the Grand Central (between Lexington and Vanderbilt 
avenues and Forty-second and Forty- fifth streets), 
wTiich is used by the New York Central and Hudson 
River Railroad for passengers to Northern New York, 
Canada, Chicago and the West; and by the New York, 
New Haven and Hartford Railroad for Eastern points; 
and the Pennsylvania Station, between Seventh and 
Eighth avenues and Thirty-first and Thirty-third streets, 
which is used by trains of the Long Island Railroad 
for Long Island passengers (Long Island is east of 
New York across the East River) ; and by trains of the 
Pennsylvania Railroad for passengers to the West and 
South. The main southern connection is via the Penn- 
sylvania Railroad and the Southern Railway. 

The Erie Railroad Station, which is in Jersey City, 
is reached by ferries from Chambers and West Twenty- 
third streets, and also by the Hudson Tubes, which run 
under the Hudson River from New York City. 

The West Shore Railway Station is on the west side 
of the Hudson River, at Weehawken, New Jersey, and 
is reached by ferries from Franklin and West Forty- 
second streets. Trains of the New York, Ontario and 
Western Railway also leave from this station. 

Trains of the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western 
Railroad (for New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Western 
New York) leave from their station in Hoboken, New

leave from their station in Communipaw (Jersey City, 
New Jersey), which is reached by Hudson River fer- 
ries from Liberty Street and West Twenty-third Street, 
and by the Hudson Tubes. Trains of the Baltimore 
and Ohio Railway, the Philadelphia and Reading Rail- 
way and the Lehigh Valley Railway leave from the 
same station. 

Some of the trains for points in Brooklyn and Long 
Island, which is just across Long Island Sound (East 
River) leave from the Long Island Railroad Station in 
Long Island City, which is just opposite Thirty-fourth 
Street, New York City. The trains of the Long Island 
Railroad also leave from Flatbush Avenue Station in 
Brooklyn, 

FERRIES. 

There are numerous ferries plying across East River 
between Manhattan and Brooklyn and Long Island 
City on the east of New York City, and to Jersey City 
and Hoboken on the west, but passengers without bag- 
gage can reach almost any of these places by the un- 
derground tubes. There is also a municipal ferry line 
from South Ferry in Manhattan to Staten Island.

"GUIDES TO NEW YORK." 

The Hotel and Business Men's League of New York, 
Cambridge Building, Thirty-third Street and Fifth Ave- 
nue, publishes a valuable free information guide for 
visitors to New York. 

"Points About New York," containing a comprehen- 
sive map, is issued free by the Hotel Booklet Com- 
pany, No. I Madison Avenue, and this is likewise val- 
uable to the visitor. 

ELEVATED RAILWAYS. 

The elevated railways in New York City, known as 
the "L," are more comfortable than the Subway tubes, 
because of better light and air. They run on tracks 
supported by columns of iron about twenty feet high, 
the approach to the stations being by stairways, except 
at Thirty-second Street on the Sixth Avenue Line and 
One Hundred and Twenty-fifth Street at the joint sta- 
tion of the Sixth and Ninth Avenue Lines, where there 
are either escalators or elevators. 

The stations on the west side of the street are known 
as "Downtown Stations," and those on the east as 
"Uptown Stations." 

The fare on all of the elevated railways is 5 cents; 
the tickets are purchased at the station windows, and 
then dropped into a box in charge of a guard before 
you enter the train platform. Passengers may trans- 
fer free between the Sixth and Ninth Avenue lines at 
the Rector Street and Fifty-ninth Street stations; from 
the Sixth and Ninth to the Second and Third Avenue, 
or vice versa, at the Battery (South Ferry Station); 
between the Third and Second Avenue lines at Chat- 
ham Square, and between South Ferry and City Hall 
trains of the Third Avenue line at Chatham Square. 

The trains are operated at intervals of about one min- 
ute, except during the "rush hours," when they run 
more frequently. 

45 



REAL UNITED STATES AND CANADA 

On all of the lines the trains are operated through- 
out the day and night, including Sundays, except that 
no trains are run on the Second Avenue line between 
midnight and 5:00 a. m. 

The lines as at present constructed in Manhattan are 
the Second Avenue, Third Avenue, Sixth Avenue and 
Ninth Avenue lines, all of which start from the Bat- 
tery, or South Ferry Station in Battery Park. 

The Second and Third Avenue lines run on the "East 
Side" approximately along the avenues named, to 
Bronx Park at the northerly extremity of the city. 
The Second Avenue joins the Third Avenue line at 
One Hundred and Twenty-ninth Street and Third Ave- 
nue, both lines using the same structure from that 
point on. A branch line extends from Chatham Square 
south to City Hall, at the Brooklyn Bridge, where the 
station platform communicates with that of the trains 
coming from Brooklyn, but there is no free transfer at 
this point. 

The Sixth and Ninth Avenue lines, on the "West 
Side," run along their respective avenues, until Fifty- 
third Street is reached, where the Sixth Avenue line 
comes west to Ninth Avenue, and from here both lines 
use the same structure along Ninth Avenue to One 
Hundred and Tenth Street, where it turns east to 
Eighth Avenue and thence on Eighth Avenue directly 
north to the terminus at One Hundred and Fifty-fifth 
Street and the Harlem River. 

SUBWAY TUBES. 

The present Subway comprises a line extending from 
the Battery northwesterly to Ninety-sixth Street and 
Broadway, the main, or Broadway line, continuing un- 
der Broadway to Van Cortlandt Park in the north- 
western extremity of the city. At Ninety-sixth Street 
the Lenox Avenue line branches eastward to One Hun- 
dred and Forty-fifth Street and Lenox Avenue, and the 
Bronx Park and West Farms line branches from this 

46 



REAL UNITED STATES AND CANADA 

at One Hundred and Thirty-fifth Street, and continues 
to Bronx Park in the northeastern extremity of the 
city. At Bowling Green, at the north of Battery Park, 
the line extends under the East River and thence under 
Fulton Street to Atlantic Avenue in Brooklyn. 

The trains are operated at frequent intervals through- 
out the day and night, including Sundays. The fare is 
5 cents for a continuous ride between any two stations, 
including those in Brooklyn. The only transfers ex- 
changed by the Subway are those with the Third Ave- 
nue Elevated Line at One Hundred and Forty-ninth 
Street and Third Avenue. 

Express stations are at Bowling Green, Wall Street, 
Fulton Street, Brooklyn Bridge, Fourteenth Street, 
Grand Central Station (Forty-second Street), Seventy- 
second Street and Ninety-sixth Street, at which points 
passengers may transfer from "express" to "local" 
trains (or vice versa) going in the same direction. 

The "Hudson Tubes" start from the Hudson Ter- 
minal Building at Fulton, Dey and Cortlandt streets, 
passing under the North River and connecting with the 
terminal stations of the various railway lines on the

who have sought to run them in opposition to those 
now on the streets of New York.

A COMPREHENSIVE ROUTE FOR SEEING NEW 

YORK. 

Begin at Battery Park, the southernmost point of 
Manhattan Island, and visit the 

Aquarium, open 10:00 to 4:00 daily, admission free. 
One of the finest collections of fishes in the world is 
housed here in the old Castle Clinton building, for- 
merly a fort on an island. The name was changed in 
1822 to Castle Garden, where grand opera was first 
sung in America. General Lafayette received 6,000 
people here in 1824. In 1850 Jenny Lind held her first 
concert here, and gave her half of the proceeds to the 
poor. 

From the landing in Battery Park a boat goes i^ 
miles to

Staten Island is also reached from Battery Park by 
the municipal ferry (fare 5 cents). Upon this island is 
the Sailors' Snug Harbor, a home for aged and infirm

lions of dollars of real estate in New York City, and 
cares for one thousand seamen. 

Ellis Island, where all of the immigrants are re- 
ceived, is also reached by ferry from Battery Park 
(free). Guides are furnished on the Island, and a visit 
will prove interesting.

to Fifth Avenue, on the northeast corner of Forty- 
fourth Street, is the great Delmonico's Restaurant, the 
oldest and best known in the City of New York, and 
one of the famous places of the world. It is the home 
of more exclusive social functions in its ball, reception,

downtown restaurants in the rich Wall Street section, 
where a great number of members of the Stock and 
Cotton Exchanges gather at the luncheon hour. 

Two blocks west of Fifth Avenue at Forty-second 
Street and the junction of Broadway is 

Times Square, containing the large Times Building, 
several of the great hotels and a very large number of

signs at night in the square are remarkable for their 
number and brilliancy. 

Times Square is the centre of the so-called "White 
Light District," and around it are grouped Claridge's 
Hotel, formerly Rector's, which was the great theatri- 
cal and Bohemian after-theatre restaurant; Shanley*s, 
one of the most popular cabarets in the city; on the

Hotel Dalles, rooms from 75 cents. 

Approaching The Dalles from the east, there is a fine 
view of Mt. Hood (11,225 feet high). 

The dalles of the Columbia River (often confused by 
strangers in remote parts with The Dalles, referring to 
the city) are a peculiar, low-lying, rugged basaltic 
formation through which the great stream has carved 
a narrow passage, some places quite narrow but cor- 
respondingly deep, the river rushing through in furi- 
ous cascades. At one or two points there are pic- 
turesque falls of thirty or forty feet descent. This 
formation extends for nearly twenty miles above The 
Dalles City and is plainly visible from the car win- 
dows while passing on the Oregon- Washington Rail- 
road & Navigation Company's line. 

From The Dalles to Portland the river is navigable 

288

and affords an exceedingly picturesque trip in the gorge 
through the mountains. This trip, however, is separate 
from the rail trip, requiring an extra fare of $i.oo. 

The Columbia River Gorge from The Dalles, some 
seventy miles westward, almost to the city of Portland, 
is a succession of extremely picturesque scenery. 

In the heart of the Gorge, on the Oregon side, is 
Hood River, a town of about 2,000 population, and 
back of it the Hood River Valley, where the famous 
"Hood River apples" are produced. This Valley viewed 
from the bluffs on either side of its entrance and with 
Mt. Hood looking down upon it from its southern ex- 
tremity, affords extremely inspiring views.

This park of 1,500 square miles, located directly at 
the trackside of the Great Northern Railway, combines 
more points of interest and more awe-inspiring scenery 
than the average American has any conception of. Part 
of it is on the crest of the great continental divide, and 
the mountains and the lakes and the Flat-Head River, 
the Ice-Park Lake, and the picturesque mountain trails, 
make a combination of scenery superior to and dif- 
ferent from any other in America. 

The officials of the Great Northern Railway have 
arranged a series of trips afoot, horseback, by stage or 
automobile, that will meet the purse of every traveler, 
and the rare climatic conditions that prevail at this 
altitude and latitude will make this spot one of the

ROCKY MOUNTAINS. 

Though of an entirely different character from the

294 



REAL UNITED STATES AND CANADA 

States are not surpassed in grandeur by anything 
nearer than the Himalayas. The Alps are more pic- 
turesque and beautiful, but the Rocky Mountains stand 
unequaled for inspiring magnificence. 

The gateway to the great mountain region of Colo- 
rado is Denver, and the section it opens the way to 
is briefly described in another part of this book. (See 
Index Denver.) But the extent and wonder of this 
scenery cannot be adequately covered in a volume of 
this size. 

Starting from Denver South, the first two important 
stops are Manitou and Colorado Springs, from which 
to the West can be visited Pikes Peak and Cripple 
Creek. From Cripple Creek the route is South Canon 
City. Here again, you go West through the Royal 
Gorge — the Grand Canon of the Arkansas — and thence 
Northwesterly to Salida. The Gorge at one point is 
2,627 feet from the River to the famous Sky Line 
Drive. From Salida to the Grand Junction you can 
go over the Standard Gage Line by Leadville over 
Tennessee Pass, Eagle River Canon and Valley, Grand 
Canon to Glenwood Springs and then through the 
Grand River Valley to Grand Junction, or you can go 
Southwesterly from Salida and across the Continental 
Divide at Marshall Pass, thence West to Gunnison and 
through Black Canon by way of Curecanti Needle over 
Cerro Summit to Uncompahgre Valley, thence North- 
west again to Montrose, Delta and Grand Junction. 
The whole circle of this trip from Denver to Salida, 
Glenwood Springs and Grand Junction, or Denver to 
Salida, Montrose and Delta to Grand Junction can be 
accomplished in a week, and if the trip is not to be 
carried further than Grand Junction, it is better to go 
one route and return to Denver by the other. 



Note.— From Colorado Springs by way of Manitou, 
you can go by the Colorado Midland Westward to 
Leadville and Glenwood Springs and Grand Junction. 

295 



REAL UNITED STATES AND CANADA 

From Grand Junction Westwardly, the interesting 
places are Green River, Price, Helper, Soldiers Summit 
and Castle Gate. 

The above but very briefly touches the attractions of 
Colorado. 

Estes Park and Longs Peak, Northwest of Denver, 
is one of the picture spots of the world and there are 
many other exquisite and wonderful places. 

The Chambers of Commerce at Denver and Glen- 
wood Springs and the Railroad Companies furnish 
ample descriptive matter upon the application of tour- 
ists.

MEMORANDA 



Consider the Verdict of 

Experienced World Travelers 

when planning your journey across the Pacific. 
The superior service and accommodations 
provided on the ships of the Pacific Mail 
Steamship Co., on The Sunshine Belt 
to the Orient, are matters of comment 
among those whose extensive travels, on the 
principal routes of the globe, give weight to 
their opinions. 

One says: 

"I have never experienced such excellent cuisme 
on any boat, although I have travelled a tremendous 
lot, including seventeen journeys to and from the 
Orient for my Government." 

A diplomat and traveler, of world-wide 
renown, says: 

"Having had a wide experience of long steamship 
voyages, may I add that I have never been on any 
vessel where the cooking and attendance were better, 
and I do not recall any vessel so steady in rough 
weather." 

A prominent American manufacturer says: 

"On my tour around the world I traveled on 
fourteen different ships and there was no part of my 
journey which I enjoyed quite so well as that by 
your line."

sessions, Canada with its Provinces, and all foreign 
countries. 

The Maps are SJ^'^xlOJ^", printed in five and 
six colors, water in blue, county lines accurately de- 
fined, mountains in brown, and all railroads in red to~ 
save confusion with the rivers. We have divided the 
plates so that no part of the Maps bind in, making a 
convenient sized book 7''xlO'^ It is the "happy me- 
dium'* between the large over-bulky Atlas, and those 
too small to show detail clearly. 

There is nothing bulky or unhandy about this 
volume — it is so much an improvement over the heavy, 
unwieldy antiquated books that have heretofore served 
as Atlases. 

It has a most attractive appearance, and its 
compact form, which enables it to be carried in the 
overcoat pocket, makes reference to it a pleasure. 

Every Home, Office, School, Library and Trave- 
ler needs a modern detailed Atlas. 

The book may be had in two bindings — Cloth 
at $1.50 — and the semi-flexible Leather which sells at 
$2.00 POSTPAID ANYWHERE. Discounts in quantities.
